Not Afraid of Water

Whoa...was totally thinking about this AGAIN last night. Anyway. I know it was in the official information released about Sonic back in the day, but Sonic's supposed phobia of water's never played a part into Sega's official work. Now, I WILL give you that for a guy who lives and dies by running and being mobile, and who likes breathing, being underwater, and having that movement stymied and being unable to break the surface and BREATHE would MAJORLY SUCK. But water's NOT the problem there. Being trapped and stuck is.

If Sonic has a phobia, it'd be that. Being trapped. But it'd take a hell of a lot to trigger it.
